He was huge in the NW especially.

 

It’s his station i think, set it up after being on Unity. 
 

he’s been doing a load of lockdown stuff i the afternoons too.  

Stumbled across his show as a teenager when he was on Key103. One of the main reasons I got into dance music. 

Back in the day, 91/92, lads at school used to tape his show and listen to it all week on repeat despite it being a shit reception in horwich

That's all I needed to know.

Shit

The end 

Cant beat Stu Allan rocking up at random times on some obscure radio station.

Delayed me getting into proper music due to peer pressure.

Aye, some lads i knocked about with overnight turned into Wigan pier wannabes and anything else was deemed as shite, wasn't for me

Key 103 had live broadcasts from Wigan Pier, Sunset/Kiss 102 had live broadcasts from The Hacienda.

It was like the difference between a meal at somewhere with a Wacky Warehouse and fine dining imo.

I used to detest old skool and hardcore stuff, more the stuff surrounding it really, because the uninitiated, Wilson Phillips's fans for example, would dismiss all house/dance as this type...

I used to dislike bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. for the same reason, people would only know these bands thus assume they were the bands I liked - I didn't.
